Is this it? https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/192147/zotac-gtx1080ti-11264-170327

It’s possible but no one can give you an actual answer. On the plus sides motherboards rarely fail so it’s quite unlikely you’ll have to RMA it. And if it fails after a long time your warranty will be over anyway.

It will perform the same as any other 4070. So just look up reviews of any 4070 and that’s how it will perform. Galax is a good enough brand.

But this is at 1080p with a 4090, right? The difference won’t be as large with a 4080 at higher resolutions, will it?

1440p and 4K high refresh. All kinds of games like CSGO, Forza 5 and CS2.

I already have a Z690 board with 32GB 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM. I have a 14700K coming soon and was wondering if I’ll be leaving performance on the table using my existing board or whether it’s worth buying a new board and DDR5 RAM to get the most of the CPU. I use my PC for gaming mostly.

Is your CPU holding back your GPU, in other words is your CPU the bottleneck in your system? If it is you might see some performance increase by upgrading your CPU. If not then it’s likely you won’t see any increase in performance.

Will the 12600K with DDR4 limit my 4080? I mainly game at high refresh 1440p / 4K.

Thanks for the reply. In your opinion when will DDR4 become the limiting factor in a gaming rig?

I’m trying to get as much life as I can from my current motherboard and DDR4 RAM. How much longer will the 14600K give me over the 12600K? Maybe a year or two before I have to bite the bullet and upgrade my motherboard and switch to DDR5? Mainly used for gaming at high refresh 1440p/4K.

Nope. I ended up selling the board and buying a MSI Pro-A Z690. I’ve had no problems since.

The 4070Ti equals or beats the 3090Ti but at a much lower power draw. It also has DLSS3 and frame generation. Go for the newer card.

So I am debating between the 4070Ti and the 4080 - I play all types of games from CSGO to CP2077 on a 1440p 240Hz monitor. The price difference is quite large between the two cards where I live (about 400-500 USD). So which one is better for my situation?

Both will perform exactly the same. Buy whichever is cheaper/has the better warranty/looks nicer in your case.

Not just the UK, in Japan too. 4090 is selling for 298,000 yen which is around 1900 UK pounds.
